My dear friends,
We often talk a great deal about membership. Quite naturally, the focus is on recruiting new members, but in the process, we lose sight of an equally important task — that of retaining existing members. As Rotary celebrates Membership Month, I want to ask what Rotary means to you. I invite you to share your story not only with Rotary but with your personal and professional networks — not only why you joined, but why you are still a member of Rotary today. Is it because of the difference you’ve made in your community or because of the lifelong friendships you’ve made? Speak of the personal benefits that you have derived from your membership in Rotary, whether it’s the satisfaction from reaching out to someone who desperately needed help or the gains in your own life that came from the opportunities and connections available to you through Rotary. Sharing your Rotary story could help inspire someone to join. Promoting our exciting member benefits program, Rotary Global Rewards, will not only help you get more transformative work done but will also show new and potential members the added value of being a part of the Rotary network. Find out more yourself about this new program and how it can be used to enhance the Rotary member experience. Encourage others to do the same.
The Member Center is now home to a number of resources to help you better serve your clubs and districts, including brochures like Be a Vibrant Club and Strengthening Your Membership: Creating Your Membership Development Plan. Exploring, understanding, and using these tools can help you engage and retain your members. Every year, the Rotary International Convention serves as a great way to experience what it truly means to be a part of Rotary. A promotion kit for the 2016 convention in Seoul is now available. The kit provides digital and print resources to promote the convention to your club or district. Go to the Seoul convention site, find the kit in the Resources section, and use it to encourage your fellow Rotarians to attend. With your help, the 2016 Rotary Convention could be the biggest yet! By encouraging a new member to attend the convention, you will have given him or her the opportunity to be well and truly convinced of the reach and breadth of Rotary. Membership is important year-round. We must continue to give potential members more reasons to join, and current members more reasons to stay. Let us work together to strengthen our membership base and to encourage others to join us as we work to improve our communities and to Be A Gift to the World.
Sincerely,
K.R. Ravindran
Rotary International President
The Palm Beach State College Foundation receives $25,000 from the Rotary Club of Boca Raton to support students
The Palm Beach State College Foundation received $25,000 from the Rotary Club of Boca Raton on Aug. 5 for student scholarships. “We are very passionate about supporting students in their academic goals,” said Spencer Siegel, president of the club. “We not only desire to help them financially but we also guide them through our mentorship program. These students are smart and very motivated and often times have very little guidance as to what to do in life. We believe even the smallest push in the right direction from someone who is not their mom or dad can mean

the world in terms of their success in life.” The scholarships will be given to students who are: members of the Rotaract Club at Palm Beach State’s Boca Raton campus, participating in the club’s mentorship program and seeking an Associate in Art or Associate in Science degree, among others. “We enjoy the relationship with The Rotary Club of Boca Raton and are appreciative of all the advice they have given our students over the years,” said Suellen Mann, executive director of the Foundation. “I thank them again for taking their support a step further with this donation. This club is a group of givers who truly make a positive difference in the community.” Established in 2011, the Rotaract Club at Palm Beach State College is a community service and professional development organization geared toward creating positive, lasting change within the community, and within its membership body. Rotaract is a new generation’s branch of Rotary International, the world’s largest professional service organization with 1.2 million members spread across the globe.

Dear Fellow Rotarians,
POLIO IMMUNIZATION
The purpose of this correspondence is to announce our trip to India to participate in the November 22, 2015 polio Sub-National Immunization Day (SNID). This is the same as a National Immunization Day but it simply means immunizations are done in certain troubled areas on a more regular basis. We will participating in the Delhi area. Attached is a document that provides specific information about the trip, including a means of registering for the program. Please fill out the application as soon as possible. Friends and family of Rotarians are welcome as well. After I receive your commitment, you’ll begin receiving more specific information about our trip. Can’t wait to begin. This will be a life changing experience. Please feel free to share this information with the Rotarians and clubs in your District as soon as possible as we have a limited amount of space and expect this trip to be filled within the next week or two. Family and friends of Rotarians are welcome as well. In 2012, India was removed from the list of polio endemic countries and in 2013 the entire Southeast Asia Region was declared Polio free. This does not mean it isn’t still important for India to continue to immunize children and remain diligent in these efforts. However, we are getting remarkably close to eradicating polio globally. Therefore, this might be one of the last opportunities we will have to organize a trip to India to participate in polio NID activities. This trip offers you and the Rotarians in your club and District an extraordinary opportunity to have an experience of a lifetime. The following summarizes the key trip information: Our program will travel to Delhi, India, where we visit the World Health Organization Office Delhi Office and the Polio Plus Office for an update on activities. We’ll visit St. Stephen’s Hospital where Dr. Matthew performs reconstructive surgeries on polio patients. Then we’ll see some of the many sites around Old and New Delhi as time permits. This trip also includes travel to Agra to visit the Taj Mahal, one of the seven wonders of the world, and then on toVaranasi the Holy City of India. There wewill visit holy temples and take a boat ride down the River Ganges. We’ll be hosted by Rotarians and join them in a clean up project along the river.
chase. All you need do is let me know your arrival time and I’ll meet you at the airport.
Visas: All U.S. citizens will need to secure an Indian visa. http://www.in.ckgs.us/visa/type-of-visa/tourist-visa.shtml Please be sure to fill out the form for a TOURSIT VISA. Any other kind will cause you a lot of unnecessary complications. Travel Vaccines: We recommend that all participants visit the Centers for Disease Control Website:http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/ travel/destinations/india.htm to determine what vaccinations may be needed for this trip. We suggest that members visit this web site, print out the material and visit a doctor, or travel doctor, to determine what vaccinations or treatments may be needed for this trip. Confirmation in the program will be on a first come, first served basis. To join us, please complete and sign the attached application.

ROTARY CLUB BOCA RATON SUNRISE
Many families travel far from home and spend several weeks or months to get treatment for their seriously ill or injured children – a long time to be away or to divide a family. And, for children facing a serious medical crisis, nothing seems scarier than not having mom and dad close by for love and support. A Ronald McDonald House is that “home-away-from-home” for families so they can stay close by their hospitalized child at little or no cost. Our Houses are built on the simple idea that nothing else should matter when a family is focused on the health of their child – not where they can afford to stay, where they will get their next meal or where they will lay their head at night to rest. We believe that when a child is hospitalized the love and support of family is as powerful as the strongest medicine
need. Whether to help cook, serve meals, bring meals, whatever is needed. In the photo is Alan Forbes, Ira Herschbein, Hendrik DeMello and Stan Fertel

dinner together and began our weekly meeting like every other. The speaker was unaware of the status of our guest, and when called upon began his prepared presentation. His presentation left time to answer questions, including a few from our distinguished visitor. Before the meeting concluded, Past RI President Devlin had initiated a discussion with each and every one in attendance. Including requesting taking a picture(s) of the entire group.
Like all other 2015-2016 recently installed Rotary Presidents, I started the year as President of the Boca Raton Sunset Rotary Club, prepared, enthusiastic, excited, and properly prepared by RI and the District. But, the one protocol that was not shared by others was what to do when the VISITOR arrives. I was privileged to begin my Rotary year with a visit from Past RI President Frank Devlin of Mexico City, Mexica. He arrived at the Griddle Restaurant in Boca Raton a few minutes before the meeting was to start. Entering the small restaurant as though he had been there a million times with the demeanor of any visiting Rotarian. PDG Phil Lustig, halts his and my conversation and proudly states let me introduce you to Past RI President Frank Devlin. The protocol to be used when you have a Past RI President was not part of the training. Eliminating my dilemma, he promptly stated that he was a attending our meeting as a visiting Rotarian and we should acknowledge him as such. As with any other guest, we enjoyed Quest • Edition 02
PDG Steve Laine shared the fact that he had represented the Past President in Sweden during his tenure as President. A Floridian visiting the coldest spot in Sweden was something he and his wife never forgot. I shared the fact that in 2000, while attending PETS in the New England Region, President-Elect Devlin, traveling to England stopped in Massachusetts and was the Keynote Speaker at our PETS Training Session. Since that memorable meeting, he has emailed all members that were present at this meeting by email, acknowledging our Rotary Service. On a side note, I would like to also mention that he publishes a series of books regarding “How you can make a difference in your career through membership in Rotary.” The books are titled “Frank Talk Books” and they can be purchased by visiting: www.FrankTalkBooks.com.

HONOREES, HOST COMMITTEE AND INITIAL SPONSORS ANNOUNCED FOR INAUGURAL BOCA RATON MAYORS’ BALL
PRESENTED BY ROTARY CLUB DOWNTOWN BOCA RATON
The Rotary Club Downtown Boca Raton announces the
inaugural George Long Award honorees, host committee and initial sponsors for Boca Raton Mayors’ Ball, a black-tie dinner/ dance gala to held at Broken Sound Club (BSC) on Saturday, October 17, 2015. Featuring a grand epicurean experience created by BSC Executive Chef Joe Longo, Jr. set amidst City-themed décor and the live music of the Steve Chase Band. The first-time event is planned to be an annual early season opener to honor the elected officials who exemplify Rotary International’s motto, “Service Above Self” and the City’s visionaries past and present who have elevated the community. The event will raise funds to support health and wellness needs of Boca Raton nonprofits. According to inaugural Rotary Club Downtown Boca Raton Mayors’ Ball Co-chairs and Charter Club Members Kari Oeltjen and Jon Kaye, the inaugural 2015 George Long Awards – named for the City’s first appointed mayor in 1924 and designed by Tiffany & Co. – will be presented to the following that have each championed the tradition of bringing indelible visionary ideas and transformation to Boca Raton: • Barb Schmidt - A practitioner of mindfulness and meditation for more than 30 years, Schmidt is the author of the international best-selling book, The Practice: Simple Tools for Managing Stress, Finding Inner Peace and Uncovering Happiness, and the founder of the Boca Raton-based nonprofit organization Peaceful Mind Peaceful Life. Her passion is to enrich her hometown community of Boca Raton, greater South Florida as well as the global community by making mindfulness teachings accessible to everyone. Believing that outer peace begins with inner peace, in 2006, Schmidt helped launch Peaceful Mind Peaceful World a community outreach program with the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts & Letters that presents workshops and weekly teachings intended to help people cultivate a peaceful mind so that they can lead strong, loving, peaceful lives. Her program has hosted notable speakers, such as His Holiness the Dalai Lama; Dr. Jane Goodall; medical intuitive Caroline Myss; neuropsychiatrist and medical intuitive Dr. Mona Lisa Schulz; author and clinical psychologist Dr. James Finley; authors Dan Millman and Dr. Andrew Weil, and other distinguished guests. Recently as part of her inner peace initiative with the FAU Peace, Justice & Human Rights Institute she brought thought

leaders Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo and Gabrielle Bernstein to share their teachings on living life in the midst of our constantly changing world. In addition to her international book success, more than 3 million Facebook fans, and significant media coverage in several languages, Schmidt most recently launched ZenSports, an initiative to provide mindfulness tools for improving performance, by giving athletes, coaches and trainers a practical, easy to follow approach to a more present, calmer, focused life both on and off the field. • American Association of Caregiving Youth (AACY) A champion for the silent, hidden and deserving youth, this nonprofit has garnered national headlines, including its founder who garnered international acclaim when nominated for her leadership as a Top Ten CNN Hero in 2012. The Boca Raton-based organization’s program Caregiving Youth Program (CYP) is the first U.S. comprehensive program to address the challenges faced by children who sacrifice their education, health, well-being and childhood to provide care for family members who are ill, injured, elderly or disabled. The replication of its work has been made possible in other states and through its newly established Caregiving Youth Institute that makes its impact of benefit to communities beyond its home in Boca Raton and Palm Beach County. (more) Honorees, Host Committee, Initial Sponsors Announced: Inaugural Boca Raton Mayors’ Ball/2/2/2/2 The CYP seeks solutions as it promotes social and system change by integrating healthcare (body), education (mind), and the community (spirit) to create a solid foundation of support services for this youth population. It works to reduce barriers to learning and enhanced life-balance via its needs–driven in-school, at home and outside of school direct services, resources and programming. As of June 30, 2015, more than 990 youth caregivers plus their families entered the CYP through middle schools, self and community referrals in Palm Beach County, FL; others are in various stages of program processing. Youth caregivers elect to remain with the CYP throughout high school – and they do – they also graduate at a rate of more than 95% with more than 75% going on to college.

THE VOCATIONAL SERVICE LITERACY AWARD FOR CLUBS
Vocational Service is what sets Rotary apart from other local
service organizations. Vocational service literacy is the foundation of club vocational service projects. Every local club should provide a full menu of vocational service projects in 3 areas …… in the club, in the schools and in the local business and professional community. In all 3 areas the goal is to create awareness and understanding of Rotary’s vocational service values as expressed in THE OBJECT OF ROTARY, THE FOUR-WAY TEST and Rotary’s two mottoes, SERVICE ABOVE SELF AND ONE PROFITS MOST WHO SERVES THE BEST. In the area of club service club members should also be made aware of the
ROTARY CODE OF CONDUCT. To remind clubs of this obligation and to recognize those clubs which fulfill it, District 6930 annually presents the VOCATIONAL SERVICE LITERACY AWARD to qualifying clubs. The award requires the club to complete at least 5 vocational service literacy projects. An application form along with a list of vocational service project examples was mailed to all club president on July 1st. For more information contact Dick Hattwick, chairperson of the District Literacy Committee’s subcommittee on vocational service. (Telephone: 561-585-6440; email- richardhattwick@bellsouth.net).
VOCATIONAL SERVICE LITERACY #1
ROTARY’S TWO MOTTOS
What follows is the first in a series of VOCATIONAL SERVICE
LITERACY MINUTE statements which club presidents are encouraged to share with their clubs at a weekly meeting. You can share them month-by-month or save them for your club’s promotion of VOCATIONAL SERVICE MONTH in JANUARY. Or you can do both. This month’s literacy minute tells the story of Rotary’s two mottos and is taken verbatim from the RI web site. ( www.rotary.org/ en/history). Here it is: “ Rotary’s official mottoes, Service Above Self and One Profits Most Who Serves Best, trace back to the early days of the organization.” “In 1911, He Profits Most Who Serves Best was approved as the Rotary motto at the second convention of the National Association of Rotary Clubs of America, in Portland, Oregon. It was adapted from a speech made by Rotarian Arthur Frederick Sheldon to the first convention, held in Chicago the previous year. Sheldon declared that, “ only the science of right conduct toward others pays. Business is the science of human services. He profits most who serves his fellows best.” “The Portland convention also inspired the motto Service Above Self. During a convention outing on the Columbia River, Ben
14
Collins, president of the Rotary Club of Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, talked with Seattle Rotarian J.E.Pinkham about the proper way to organize a Rotary club, offering the principle his club had adopted: Service, Not Self. Pinkham invited Paul P. Harris, who also was on the boat trip, to join their conversation. Harris asked Collins to address the convention, and the phrase Service, Not Self was met with great enthusiasm.” “At the 1950 RI Convention in Detroit, slightly modified versions of the two slogans were formally approved as the official mottoes of Rotary: He Profits Most Who Serves Best and Service Above Self. The 1989 Council on Legislation established Service Above Self as the principal motto of Rotary, because it best conveys the philosophy of unselfish volunteer service. He Profits Most Who Serves Best was modified by the 2004 Council to They Profit Most Who Serve Best and by the 2010 Council to its current wording, One Profits Most Who Serves Best.” In terms of principles to guide a person’s life, the two mottoes are complementary. Service Above Self tells a Rotarian HOW to act. One Profits Most Who Serves Best tells a Rotarian WHY a person should put service above self. Non-Rotarians might interpret the WHY to mean monetary success. But Rotarians know that the WHY refers to the psychological happiness which a life of service provides. September 2015 • Quest

EARTHQUAKE IN NEPAL
We have all seen images of Nepal after the Earthquake of
April 25th. The 7.8 Earthquake devastated 6 Districts and sections of 3 cities - Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and Lalitpur. Over 90% of the houses in the Districts were destroyed. In the cities, World Heritage Sites, Historic Temples and Landmarks were demolished. 19 climbers at the Everest Base Camp were killed by an avalanche. The statistics are horrifying - 9000 people have lost their lives, 23000 people have been injured, 850,000 houses demolished or rendered uninhabitable. The television reports kept repeating the the same images of destruction of temples and landmarks and the occasional person being rescued from the debris - but how were the people coping from this disaster? What kind of relief were they receiving? How were their injuries being treated?I had to go to see for myself and do what I could to help. I arrived in Kathmandu on May 8th. The next day I joined a local Rotary Club to distribute food, blankets,tarpaulins and other relief materials to one of the devastated Districts. On the way, I saw complete destruction of houses on both sides of the road and on the hillside. I was shocked at the scale of destruction. Subsequently, I saw the same destruction when I went to the other Districts. On May 12th we had just arrived at a location on the outskirts of Kathmandu to distribute aid boxes to 300 people when a 7.3 Earthquake struck. We were still inside the car when it started jumping up and down and sideways.We were terrified and completely helpless. I could imagine what the people must have felt when the first Earthquake occurred. Finally it stopped and we were able to get out of the vehicle.We could see dust from the collapsed structures. Fortunately none of us were injured and we were able to distribute the supplies. When I arrived the First Stage of the disaster had passed when major injuries and rescuing people from the debris had to be done. The injuries I saw at the 2 Health Camps we established in the Districts were minor. I was able to got the 5 of the 6 Districts that were impacted by the Earthquakes. It brings tears to your eyes to see the widespread destruction. The villagers showed us what was left of their homes. The irony was they preferred their homes were completely collapsed so they could at least salvage the bricks,wood,stones and possessions whereas, with partial collapse they were too afraid to enter for fear of collapse any time. The school were all destroyed. Some had just their roofs standing, others were totally collapsed. When schools finally

started they were open air schools under the shade of trees as it was still very hot. Our priority shifted after a few weeks from supplying food, blankets,tarpaulins,tents to constructing Temporary Emergency Shelters which were becoming more urgent as the Monsoon rains were soon approaching and the tarpaulins and tents would collapse or get blown away. These were dome like structures made with corrugated metal sheets. Despite the calamity I was amazed at the hospitality and resilience of the villagers. They were grateful for any aid. They were constructing makeshift shelters,trying to repair their roofs. They had not given up. I met my Fellow Rotarians in the in 3 Clubs I was able to go to in Kathmandu and Lalitpur. They had already set in motion their response from Day 1. We went on missions to distribute supplies and medicines. I felt pride in seeing Fellow Rotarians in action. The Rotaracts were even more active. They started delivering supplies in motorbikes and as their numbers grew, the supplies went by SUVs and then by trucks. I was privileged to go on a 3 day mission with one such group. We set up a Health Camp,distributed supplies,constructed toilets in a remote area in the mountains. With another Rotary Club we were able to set up a system to provide drinking water in the Spinal Rehab.Centre which was being overwhelmed by patients who had sustained spinal injuries. I was surprised how soon my 6 weeks stay was coming to an end. There was still so much to do. The destruction is immense but what I remember is the resilience of the Nepali people in the villages.They were not waiting for the government. The spirit of volunteerism among the ordinary people, the Clubs, the Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) was amazing. How can one forget the smiles on the faces of schoolchildren when we provided them with backpacks filled with school supplies on the first day of school. It was a privilege to have been able to go and serve and to be with my Fellow Rotarians and Rotaracts in this time of need.

Tell Your Story
My name is Angelica Blakely and I will be at service as Public Image team in our District. As part of Rotary’s new strategy we are trying to strengthen our image so that everyone will understand what Rotary stands for, how we’re different, and why it matters. I encourage all Public Image Chairs for each club to download from Rotary Brand Center the Messaging Guidelines Brochure, subtitled The Voice, and Visual Rotary Guidelines, to share with club members. In this brochure you will find powerful tools to do “What we need to do”, which is to tell our great story in a way that ensures our actions and supports our words. And if your club doesn’t have Public Image Chairs please ask your president to appoint someone.
One of the best ways to bring our story to life is to simply tell about it. With this in mind we will have a thisspace brochure you will find powerfulcalled “Telling You Story”. It will be a forum for individuals to tell about the day they became a in the District newsletter great in a way that ensureswill ourneed to be no more than 400 words and, if possible, should include the author’s picture.

wisdom to what he shared with me; words that I will cherish and pass on to the next generation. Becoming a Rotarian means to develop a sense of citizenship, to positively set your personal growth and development towards leadership by helping others. From my father-in-law I learned that Rotary exposed him to a great deal of fun and charitable activities, he embraced his opportunity to developed friendships and to be part of this wonderful community group which the main goal is one of the most basic human needs: to build a better world with friendship & fellowship. Sergio Lucena is a Real Estate Agent. He has participated in the Rotary Club in Brazil since 1990 and is a current member of Rotary Club Boca Raton West holding the position of Sergeant-at-Arms. His goal is to serve the community, develop his leadership skills and become a more active member of the Rotarian community.

Why print the quest magazine? Dear Rotarian, It is very great speaking to you! You probably have noticed that every month, you would get an e-mail of the District Quest Magazine. Quest is our monthly district newsletter transformed into a magazine to get all the district information out to Rotarians in a more modern, efficient, and exciting way! Through this letter, I want to encourage you to send me information, flyers, and photos of the events that your club holds so that we can promote it throughout the whole district. That way, you will be letting other clubs know what yours is up to and encourage them to do the same! We wanted to show support for our entire district, so we created a print version of the magazine. This was dream come true for us! It was an absolute success, and it was distributed to everyone at the District 6930 Conference! Now, we want to be able to continue printing every month and send out the magazine to all the clubs in our district so that each member can be handed a copy. This will be a fast, easy, and pleasant way for all members in our district to be up to date on the happenings of every club. This is also a great way to recruit future Rotarians. Distributing these magazines throughout our workplaces, we can let others in our community learn what being a Rotarian is all about. They will see the wonderful services we do for our communities, along with the fun time we have while doing it! I encourage all your members to use this magazine as a recruitment tool for your clubs. So that we can keep Quest printing every month, I ask you to share this letter with each member of your club and incentivize them to buy advertisement space for their businesses. With the support of your members, we will be able to cover the cost of printing and stay on track with our goal of having a print version of Quest. We hope that all Rotarians show their support and promote their business through our magazine. For more information, here is the contact who is responsible for handling the advertising of the magazine: Contact Andre Heizer at (561) 807-6304 or andre@bocaratontribune.com Kind regards,
